OPTION 3: SIMPLIFIED CUSTOM INTEGRATION
A
simplified custom integration
of the module can be realized by adjusting the settings
and performing sensor calibrations using the
PyroScience
software
Pyro Workbench
or
the more advanced software
Pyro Developer Tool
(both requiring the encoded USB
interface cable
PICO-USB
). After closing the software, the configuration is automatically
saved within the internal flash memory of the module. The module can then be
integrated into a specific setup, and your custom software can perform measurements
using a proprietary
USB/UART communication protocol
.
5.1
Configuring the Module using PyroScience Software
Please install either the
Pyro Workbench
or the
Pyro Developer Tool
. Follow chapter 0
or chapter 0, respectively, how to operate the module with the PyroScience software.
Adjust the settings and perform the required calibrations of the sensor.
After the module has been configured, close the PyroScience software. The configuration
is automatically saved within the internal flash memory. This means that the adjusted
settings and the last sensor calibration are persistent even after a power cycle of the
module. Now the module can be integrated into a customer specific setup via its UART
interface (or via the USB interface cable with its virtual COM port).

Electrical Connector for Custom Integration
The electrical interface of the
Pico-pH
consists of the connector X1 (Figure 6). The
package includes the fitting connector plug S1 (manufacturer:
Phoenix Contact
, type:
PTSM0,5/4-P-2,5
, Item no.:
1778858
). Stripped cable ends can be connected to S1
without any soldering or crimping. When inserting or removing a stripped cable end
(stripping length 6 mm, max. core diameter 0.5 mm²) into one of the connector holes of
the connector S1, an internal spring mechanism has to be unlocked. This can be achieved
by pushing relatively strongly with a small screw-driver (flat-bladed 2 mm in width) into
the adjacent rectangular hole (Figure 6). The same manufacturer offers also fitting
connector plugs for PCB mounting (details on request).
